Never write a book no one can pronounce; a self-publishing rule I shouldn’t have to number. And a rule that was never on the sheet; learn them well enough to break them. Which comes with a risk.

Readers won’t get you, your family will be confused about your goals, and from a world of jaded readers you become a part of the modern day Babylon of words published on the internet.

Pick your poison; follow the many structures of past success stories in hope it fuels you to accomplish your goals? Or, follow your gut instincts into a bliss of what feels right?

Either way you’re meant to be where you’re at today.

Now about my birthday — for the next seven days I’m writing to my birthday present. On Wednesday, December 18, 2019 I’ll turn 33 years old!

Remember me Dr. Barbara Ferre?

I began writing the below book on my 32nd birthday last year. It’s the one most people can’t pronounce.

On December 18, 2018, I began writing Book One of The Divine IX Trilogy:‘BOURGEOSIE I‘ (bo͝orZHwäˈzē) — about a boy from tribal land in Africa who ‘fixes’ racism on refined American soil. He establishes rules in the days he learns about a new colorful land off the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout his journey those rules guide him into his ultimate fate of construction. He writes to the city of Port Avanti to show them something different. It touches on classism, colorism, and if I’m forgetting an ism you’ll read about it.

This is an urban fantasy indie novel I’m crowdfunding through to complete and self-publish. The link above will take you to the promotional stories and chapter previews.

It was Jim Jimkins’ Doug that I recall imitating when I’d rearrange my bedroom like the character to write in my journal. When I stopped writing I was in high school. Then in college my words were melancholy upon returning to the pen and paper.

Last year I made a commitment to stick to it by all means necessary. Today, it’s about the trust in my commitment to keep on keepin’ on after receiving your $3 donation, or excuse me, your heartfelt support.

Maybe I’ll write for you someday, I don’t discriminate. I’m happy to speak about my journey to the breath which finds you.

Although a slow start to the funding campaign, there are several outside opportunities I’m seeking in getting the GoFundMe fully funded through sponsorships, etc..

My goal is to connect with more readers for their support, write books people can pronounce, and fulfill the meaning behind all these words I type.

Donate with a ‘3’ in it! Why? Because I’m as random as the chance I’ve been given. It’s ambiguity at work. If you’ve read this far, I got here by choosing my gut instincts and it’s lead me to you 🙂

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I began publishing content on VehicleDigest the Instagram account, now BuddWrites, to inspire my creative mind. Today, VehicleDigest.net is the publishing platform for content related to Budd's books, speaking endeavors, and art.
